Why it matters

Add The New York Post on Google Times Square, the “Crossroads of the World,” is at its own commercial crossroads — but an ambitious, newly launched project by developer Jamestown is expected to bring long-needed glamour to the Bowtie’s south end.

Common ground

Jamestown is opening One Times Square’s full array of “immersive” attractions to the public on Friday — five years since the half-billion-dollar adaptive reuse of the iconic but empty former office tower was announced.

Perspective signals
